Combine the sugar, honey and golden syrup in a thick bottomed pan and cook over medium heat stirring occasionally. Until the sugar is dissolved.

Continue to boil the mixture for another ten minutes more till the mixture reaches the "soft ball stage"

Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and pour it over the fruit and nut mixture and mix well till all the ingredients are well combined. It will be sticky and gooey batter.

Scrape the batter to the prepared pan and using a spatula spread the batter evenly into the pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40min or till a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Allow the panforte to cool in the wire rack for 10min before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cut the panforte into cubes and serve immediately or store in air tight containers. This sweet treat tastes best after several days as it matures with time.

My Tip:

If golden syrup is not available it can be replaced with equal quantity of honey.
As long as you stick to the original volume of fruits and nuts you can vary them as you like. You can use hazelnuts, or pine nuts as well. Even the spices can be varied as well. You can use coriander powder or white pepper powder.
This cake can be baked in an 8" round pan and it can be cut into wedges.
To check if the sugar syrup has reached the soft ball stage, drop a small spoonful of syrup in a bowl of cold water. Bring the solidified syrup out of the water with you hands. If you are able to form a soft flexible ball, then the sugars syrup is ready to be used.
